Testimonials
"We wanted a report that was accessible and transparent, engaged our wide variety of stakeholders and captured the global scale of our business. Context brought a direct and readable style, professionalism and a critical eye - and the report was well-received. We look forward to working with them again next year."
Ruth Girardet, Corporate Responsibility Director,
Tesco
“Context has planned, inspired, challenged and delivered spin-free stakeholder-relevant CR communications for Vodafone. This includes our ACCA award-winning CR report. Context created the "we said, we have, we will" theme that has been the cornerstone of the report for the last three years.
Context has also helped us with engagement lunches for opinion leaders, our CR website, papers focused on single issues, our internal communications and other innovative straight-forward copywriting that has been critical to Vodafone's current recognition as a responsible company.”
Ramon Arratia, former Senior Corporate Responsibility Manager,
Vodafone Group
“The people at Context helped us shape and deliver our environmental and social reporting from its inception in 1998 to 2007. We benefited hugely from their understanding of important segments of our readership, their relentless war on corporate jargon, their broad knowledge of what other companies are doing, and their ability to work within the practical constraints that report producers face.
Context recently wrote the Shell-sponsored Rough Guide to Energy and our Planet displaying their customary attention to detail and deadlines.”
Mark Weintraub, Group Senior Adviser Sustainable Development,
Shell International
“Working with Context made a real difference to our corporate responsibility reporting. I remember spending long evenings with my friends explaining the link between sustainability, agriculture and our business – not always very successfully. When I gave them a copy of our latest CR report, the reply was: Why didn't you say this last time we talked?”
Juan Gonzalez-Valero, Head of Corporate Responsibility,
Syngenta
“Context has been invaluable to us in helping prepare the Sustainability sections of our Annual Report. Not only have they breathed fresh air into how we write our report, but they have also been great at challenging us to ensure that we report on what is important to our stakeholders, and in a way that can be easily understood.”
Dianne Young, Investor Relations Officer,
Roche

Christian Kornevall, Director of Energy Efficiency in Buildings project,
WBCSD
